Review:
Slovenian photographer-turned-producer Ichisan enjoyed his most prolific year to date in 2014, with releases appearing on Internasjonal, Catune and Danny Was A Drag King. Here he pops up on Yam Who's ISM label with more bouncy, synth-laden nu-disco fare. That's arguably best represented by the jammed out keys and rich chords of bubbling bonus cut "Veg Out", though there's more of a shamelessly Adriatic vibe about the cascading melodies and laidback disco shuffle of "Bela Ljubljana". That track gets treated to a pair of remixes; a chunkier, analogue-heavy dub disco interpretation from Yam Who, and an acid-flecked, pleasingly trippy take from Kalidasa.

Our ears continue to be dazzled by Slovenian disco type Ichisan who makes an appearance on the ever great Under The Shade imprint after two great EPs on Solardisco and Airtight last year. "Magnetic Field" is a fine slice of soaring cosmic delight with a gentle chugging bass line propelling the floor friendly groove. Ichisan opts for a more electro boogie feel on "Rear Window," a slap bass odyssey with some exceptional synth stab action. Two masterful remixes round off a typically fine Under The Shade release. The Off Key Hat gets tweaked out on acid on their take of "Magnetic Field" whereas DFA dude Walter Jones goes for the deep chug with glorious dubbed out synths.

Review:
Slovenian space cadet Ichisan returns to the scene of the cosmic crime as he revisits select cuts from last year's superlative debut album Aperitiv. All equally velvet, "Hotel Jama" feels even more welcoming with its glistening strings, "Modri Tunel" is all about the deep dubby dynamics while "Kozmetika" while have you hot shoe shuffling quicker than you can say vibraphone. Finally "Terminal E" will fly you first class to wherever your head needs to be. Stunning, as always.

Review:
Slovenian nu-disco producer Ichisan has had a slow but steady career since first appearing back in 2008, but he's turned into one of the more reliable figures working in the field, combining thick-set basslines with a cosmic flourish that feels more contemporary than rooted in the past. His first appearance on Internasjonal is another winner, featuring two pieces of music that sound like the perfect half-way point between Todd Terje's poppier inclinations and Lindstrom's progressive structures. "Kristina" sounds almost like the closing credits for an '80s action movie combined with a bit of disco funk thrown into the mix. "Hoppsa" on the other hand is a track you could expect to hear on a sun-drenched terrace in the Balearic isles drinking a cocktail - in other words, pure fun.

Review:
Perma busy record label don David Griffiths launches the brand spanking new Labour Of Love imprint in consummate style, with a five track EP from Ichisan boasting remixes from disco beards Bottin, Nicholas and Pete Herbert. Herbert's refix of "House Dance Conference" is a typically driving affair, with a slinky guitar riff and 80s synths. The original takes on a more cosmic hue, with a twinkling key melody that is truly bewitching. The string-laden "Tiny House" is given a deepish re-rub by the prolific Nicholas - this one if our pick of the bunch - while fellow Italian Bottin opts for a heavily arpeggiated discoid odyssey.

Review:
Photographer-turned-producer, Ichisan, made quite a name for himself on the nu-disco scene some years back. He's been a little quiet since, but that's all going to change with the release of "Metamundus" on Dutch disco label Bordello A Parigi. The overriding theme for the three new cuts here is a fusion of bubbly 303 acid with Italo disco; the title track sees a particularly squelchy 303 provide a stuttering funk counterfoil to some melancholic 80s Euro synth washes, "Bar Trenutek" is all about pulsating hiNRG arpeggios and dream-like melodies, and finally "Terasa' wraps things up with some lo-fi Bontempi kitchiness.
